UCD IT Breakfast and News

At the recent IT Breakfast held at UCD's Smurfit School of Business, Dr Stefan Klein reviewed developments in mobile communications and their application for distributed virtual teams. With the Boeing-Rocketdyne case study Dr Klein explored how workgroups adapt to technology and how technology can be adapted to the workgroup, the implications on and of organizational structures, and how adaptations may represent on-going opportunistic attempts to counter misalignments. The example illustrated some of the research themes of CITO, particularly the areas of innovative or virtual forms of organizing based on new modes of communication, co-ordination, and collaboration. Membership of networks such as CeTIM, VE-Forum and the Openscape project highlights the involvement of members of the department working at the cutting edge of organization, information technology research.

The slides from the presentation are now available for download in PDF format from the Department web site here (n.b. 2.32 MB zip file).

In its E-THURSDAY section, the Irish Independent carried an article on the event as reported by Ian Campbell (Editor of siliconrepublic.com), more details at mis.ucd.ie/news.

The breakfast meeting was the first in a series of meetings and we will keep you informed of future events.
